In case any potential sellers are considering, I'm looking for one of these beasts from within Canada. Hit me up if you're selling, going to sell, or even thinking of selling.

Nice try, but most are not fans of the W212 styling and can't justify paying $100-$120k either!

I would rather have 3 W211 wagons instead of a new W212. (I am sure when Vic55 mod's his new W212 wagon, many will have a change of heart though )

3 of 'em?! C'mon don't be greedy share 1.
I do agree on the styling, not to mention more options and electronics in the new one means more things to go wrong and more expensive to fix.

I wouldn't bet against the 212 vs. the 211. It's not like the 211 is the height of simplicity or reliability.

It's my observation that wagons tend to come and go for sale in waves. There won't be any for a while, then several come up all at once. Many sell quickly, a few linger on the market. The key is to know what you want and be ready to pounce when it appears. My E55 sedan sold more quickly than expected, and I could not find an E55 wagon to purchase. So I picked up a w203 wagon to drive while I waited, and waited, and waited... Murphy's law being in full effect, the perfect car appeared 8 months later, at a dealer 3 states away, and 2 days before I departed overseas. And yet I made it work. Made the deal over the phone, fedexed them a check, and finally had time to pickup the car a month after purchasing it. When you're angling for 1 of 150 cars in the USA, you gotta expect to wait and then work to get it.

Finally- 2008 e63 Delivered in yesterday -rolled out of the trailer in the pouring rain. Its defintiely used with a little body scuff and minor minor ding here and there. the guy drove it for sure. that doesnt bother me. runs like a beast. havent opened it up all the way yet(read: passengers) I already want to get a bid for replacing the birds eye maple trim for CF or piano black. Need wider tires(spacers). thinking split spoke AMG 19's for rims. will they fit? This is sick. I hasnt been here for 24 hrs yet... OVERALL- looks great, sounds great and RUNS like wow.
Have to figure out how to post pix

Birds eye looks off color- gray ish....... not horrible. Just contemplating 'improvements. Speaking of which, headlights look dim/yellow/way under powered . the headlight "eye" inside of the headlight housing looks foggy. is that typical? IF IT IS TYPICAL, has anyone upgraded?

I will have to look, but I think the "eye" is frosted from what I recall?

So stupid of Penske / IB to do this. You know what helps makes websites popular? Freedom of information exchange and flow. The instant someone puts up barriers (admittedly stupid ones) or any kind of interference - their traffic starts to plummet. It's completely unnecessary.

I know this after 15+ years in the 'net game having founded & built 3 companies that achieved $1BB+ market caps (one in the wild days peaked at over 50BB) and another 2 that did 500mio+. I may be pretty stupid, but in this regard, I'd like to think I have a little semblance of a clue.

It's sad that rather than provide you a mechanism for open exchange of information, they try to cripple you not just in dissemination, but in finding a less restrictive place to share your knowledge.

Fscking Penske. Pour me another ardbeg, Jay!

I've been here for a long time as well, mostly as a lurker, but I agree with you 100%.

They bought the site for big $$$ and their style of management will surely sewer it and stunt its own growth.

As new models continue to roll onto the market we'll all start moving to other sites in the future. I thought that when I first noticed how IB was doing things and at this point it seems inevitable.

I wonder who ordered this car. I'm not feeling the Sunburst Yellow but it certainly is unique.

Funny because Brumos was offering that car for sale 2 months ago for $32,995. Gotta love dealers trying to flip a car for a $12k+ profit lol.
